every time I start IE7 I get a message to fix the security settings. after
fixing it it should save the settings but when I start up IE7 again after
booting the computer it asks me to fix the security settings again. How can I
fix this?

JK

Windows version? Post the complete (verbatim) error message or prompt.

That being said: One or more options/settings in an ever-growing number of
third-party applications may be disallowing the change(s) from "sticking".
These include but are not limited to Ad-aware's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer,
SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, Norton AntiVirus, McAfee
VirusScan and/or Antispyware, and Zone Alarm (Free, Pro, & Security Suite).

I use Windows XP SP2 and have Norton Internet Security. The error Message is
this:
Your security setting level puts your computer at risk

We recommend that you do not browse the web with your current security
settings.

To fix this, click on the Information Bar above, and choose Fix Settings for
Me.

To continue browsing in the current state, click the Home button (not
recommended).

It might be a security program blocking the Registry change it needs to
make. A few, but not all, of the programs now doing this are:
Ad-aware's Ad-Watch
IBM Access Connections
Kaspersky
McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware
Norton AV
Spyware Blaster
Spybot> Tools> IE Tweaks
Spybot- Teatimer
Spysweeper
Spyware Doctor
Windows Defender
Zone Alarm (free) 6.5 Reported to be fixed in later versions.

In the case of Zone Alarm 6.5 or Norton 2007 it actually has to be
uninstalled. Make sure the Windows Firewall is turned on until you
reinstall Zone Alarm.

Boot into Safe Mode with Networking and try the change.
